Ah, yes, U5/U10 issues.

The machfb driver only works w/wscons.

wscons can only really deal with PC keyboard controllers.

U5/U10s have keyboards attached to NS16550 (com) UARTs.

Hence you can get output to work through wscons, or input
to work through the sunkb tty line discipline, but not both.

You can try adding a USB controller and a USB keyboard for the
console if you want to get both input and output working.  This
requires changing your kernel config file to remove all of the
other standard sun console devices since they are completely
incompatible w/wscons.  But then I have no idea what might 
happen if you try to break into the OBP.
